France VAT Calculator

1. 01Choose a modeAdd VAT starts from a net (pre-tax) price. Remove VAT starts from a gross (tax-inclusive) price. VAT amount shows the tax on a net price.
2. 02Enter the amountType the amount. The rate is set to the 20% standard rate; change it only for a reduced or special rate.
3. 03Read net, VAT, and grossThe tool shows all three figures at once, so you can copy the net, the tax, or the gross price you need.

• Invoices (factures)Add 20% TVA to a net (HT) amount to show the gross (TTC), or work back from the TTC.
• Expense recordsSplit a TTC receipt into net and VAT for your accounts.
• Auto-entrepreneur pricingSet a net fee and see the TTC price to quote a client (if you charge VAT).

• Add 20% TVAA net (HT) price of €150 becomes €180 TTC, with €30 of VAT.
• Remove TVAA gross (TTC) price of €120 contains €120 ÷ 1.20 = €100 HT, so the VAT is €20.
• VAT amount onlyOn a net price of €90, the VAT is €18.

VAT here is 20% of the price. To add VAT, multiply the net price by 1.20 (that is, 1 plus the 20% rate); the difference is the tax. To take VAT out of a VAT-inclusive price, divide by 1.20 to get the net, then subtract to find the tax. The VAT amount mode shows 20% of the net price. Net, tax, and gross update together.

The standard rate of 20% is set by the French tax authority (Direction générale des Finances publiques) and is current as of July 2026 (impots.gouv.fr). Tooleem is not affiliated with the DGFiP. Rates and rules can change, so check the official source before you rely on a figure.

The calculator has three modes: Add VAT (from a net price), Remove VAT (from a gross, tax-inclusive price), and VAT amount (the tax on a net price). It applies one rate at a time and defaults to the 20% standard rate. France also has reduced rates of 10%, 5.5%, and a special 2.1% rate for specific goods and services. Those other rates are not applied automatically, but you can type any rate manually.

This is an educational estimate for quick pricing, quotes, and invoice checks. It is not tax, accounting, or legal advice, and Tooleem is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the DGFiP or any government body. It applies a single rate and does not handle the detail of reduced-rate and exempt supplies, registration thresholds, or special schemes. For registration, filing, or a business decision, use the French tax authority (Direction générale des Finances publiques) or a qualified tax professional.
